“I just think perception and image is everything. This is not the Colin Kaepernick that we’ve known since he entered the National Football League,”

“I’m just going off my personal experiences. Listen, I love the guy to death. But I want him to also succeed on and off the field. This has to be a start for him.”

The problem is that Vick is using his experience as a false equivalent to what is going on with Kaepernick. Vick was a convict, Kaepernick has not broken any laws or served any time. Vick was trying to not only get back into football, he also needed money to pay off debts. The only thing Kaepernick is guilty of is exercising his right to protest and have an afro.

As Vick mentions he is going off his own “personal experiences” when he almost lost everything after serving time for his role in a dog fighting ring. When Vick was released from jail he had to rebuild his image and he ditched his signature cornrolls for a clean-cut look, and that’s fine, but you cannot compare the 2 situations.

Kudos to Eric Davis (former NFL player) for stepping up and challenging Vick in saying that he doesn’t believe Kaepernick cutting his hair will change anything.

In the meantime Kaepernick Tweeted the following

Not sure if Vick will be able to fully grasp what Kaepernick is trying to say here.

If there is something to be said, “It’s On Broadway” to step up and say it!!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the rest of the republican senate started the process of trying to repeal and replace Obamacare knowing they could only afford to lose 2 votes to pass any legislation. With Lee and Moran announcing their opposition to the BCRA the number of republicans that have publicly opposed the legislation now stands at 4, including Senators Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Susan Collins (Maine).

As much as Republicans hate the idea, they should work with Democrats on legislation that can shore up the health exchanges, lower premiums and lower deductibles within the framework of Obamacare.

Of course that’s easier said than done since republicans have built their base on a repeal and replace rhetoric that never had their constituents in mind.

Meanwhile, what’s next for the Trump White House?

Right now their only accomplishment is helping the ratings for MSNBC shows ‘Morning Joe’ and ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’

Senate republicans introduced another health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and if you are keeping count that is plan number 3, including the House plan.

So what have we learned from these republican plans to replace Obamacare?

Well, republicans seem to not give a damn about poor people being able to afford healthcare, and they don’t really care about keep campaign promises.

Throughout Trump’s campaign he said he would not make cuts to Medicaid

But President Trump celebrated the House health care plan; The American Health Care Act (AHCA) in the White House Rose Garden when the House passed its plan. A plan that included approximately $834 billion in cuts to Medicaid

What happened President Trump?

What happened to republicans promising to lower deductibles and premiums?

In the beginning of the year on Face the Nation, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell talked about the status quo being “unacceptable” with premiums and deductibles being too high. The problem is that healthcare plans from both the House and Senate fail to address what they have promised. And they lead to more Americans being without health insurance. Their plans offer cheap programs that will allow insurers to deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions while deductibles remain high.

How does these plans offered by Republicans Make America Great Again???

What’s so great about making it more difficult for the less fortunate to receive affordable health care?

When Sammy Sosa left baseball in 2007 he was a brown-skin kat from the Dominican Republic who hit 609 homers during his career.

And now Sosa is doing interviews and his skin severely bleached and it’s not a good look at all.

Sosa has stated the following,

“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some,” Sosa said on Univision’s “Primer Impacto” program. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.

“What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don’t think I look like Michael Jackson.”

Ummmm, yeah Sosa, MJ never looked as bad as you do right now. I don’t know what Sammy can do to help himself but at this point you know you losing when Rachel Dolezal is blacker than you!

I’m cool with Conor McGregor and all of shit talking to sell this Mayweather vs McGregor fight, but he needs to RELAX with referring to Floyd Mayweather Jr as a “Boy”.

Plain and Simple!

Of course Conor being Conor he’s not gonna allow anyone to tell him what to do used the “Dance for me boy…” again during the 2nd event in Toronto.

SMH…

There’s no discussion, and let me be clear, I am not calling McGregor a racist or anything. It’s just not a good look for a White man to refer to a Black man as a boy. Everything else is open season if he wants to talk about Mayweather’s tax problems, serving time, and even his ability to read. Whatever you need to hype this fight for August 26th, just stay away from “Dance for me boy, dance…”

Just finished watching the 4-part documentary series “The Defiant Ones” (writing this @ 1am Wednesday morning) and I highly recommend it as a must see. Doesn’t matter if you love music, rap, or rock. It’s a great look into the minds of 2 geniuses, who paths collided to form a unique relationship/bond.

Allen Hughes (Menace II Society) directed the doc starring Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre (Andre Young) giving the audience an introspective look into these 2 brothers from different mothers rise in music industry and business.

Defiant is the proper adjective to describe Iovine and Dre. I already knew a lot about Dre’s story but did learn new things about Dre the perfectionist. As for Iovine, well I’ll be honest… the most I knew about Iovine was that he was a dude rappers would mention in interviews and songs.

At the end of the series you realize the “evil genius” (as one friend put it) of Iovine and the genius of Dre co-existing to create one of the all-time great partnerships. You can’t help walk away from the series motivated to do something, anything HAHA.
